Peacock Streaming One of the Most Iconic Anthology TV Shows Ever

Although Peacock may have been a late addition to the TV streaming landscape, launching in 2020, the platform has no shortage of fantastic movies and shows to binge. Its original series run the gamut of genres, and given that it is the streaming platform for NBCUniversal, Peacock’s catalogue is full of fan favorites, including The Office (and soon, it’ll also be home to The Office spinoff series The Paper). Now, Peacock has added a classic anthology series to its library, and given that one of the most iconic directors of all time is behind the show, we’d say it’s worth a watch.

The series is none other than Alfred Hitchcock Presents, a horror anthology series curated by the legendary director and “master of suspense” himself. The show ran from 1955 to 1962, during Hitchcock’s heyday of terrifying viewers with films like Psycho, Vertigo, and North by Northwest, and shaping the horror genre as we know it. While the anthology series featured a slew of “stories of terror, horror, and suspense” with a rotating cast of characters and writers, Hitchcock offered an element of cohesion to the series as its host.

In Alfred Hitchcock Presents‘ now iconic opening, the famed director steps into a sketch of his profile, in silhouette. Hitchcock would open every episode with a monologue straight to the camera, lasting about a minute or so. Hitchcock’s introductions are surprisingly cheeky and self-aware while also setting the scene for the chilling stories audiences were in for. Best known for his work behind the camera, Hitchcock’s deadpan and wry wit sparkle, even in black and white, in Alfred Hitchcock Presents, making it an undeniable television treasure.

The most memorable episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents were remade in the 80s, with Hitchcock’s opening monologues colorized for the revival. However, the original series more than holds up, especially for fans of horror and Hitchcock. All seven seasons of Alfred Hitchcock Presents are now streaming on Peacock, and with each episode clocking in under 30 minutes, the series makes for a perfect bite-sized horror offering.
